A Great Enterprise.

seems to have plenty Oh money. =
Great Enterprise.
The Dallas Cotton and We
Mills enterprise begins to as
a shape that looks like busiIi
aud big business at that S!
Blake, president of the compa
has just returned from a visit
manufacturers of machinery and
cotton and wooden mills East and
South to ascertain the best ma
chinery and plans for the building
and grounds, to be presented to
the directory for its consideration
and action.
Mr.. Blake says; For this pur-
pose 1 first visited New York and
New England and their various
machine shops and mills, examined
their machinery, plans and princi-
pies closely. Mr.. Alexander San
ger and myself were together part
of the time, and visited some of
the largest machine shops Of New
England After visiting
the various mills and machine
shops, I have no doubt we can
build our mill to compete with any
in America in the line of goods
we contemplate making-sheetings
domestics, drills, ducks, osnaburgs,
ticks, plaids, cheviots, knitting
yarns, jeans and lindseys-for the
following reasons:
We have cheap cotton and wool
of the best quality.
We will have better market for
our goods than any mill visited.
twill cost us less to make our
product.
We will be able to sell our bag
ging and ties at but slight loss,
while Eastern Mills sell theirs for
waste.
We will save one brokerage.
We will save the exchange on
the money.
We will save at least Is days in
terest on the money for the cotton
in transportation.
We will save the freight on o2f
cotton.
We will save the the freight
the goods returned.
By selling our own goods
save 5 per cent commissions,
guarantee we will save the dama
to our cotton in transportation.
We save compress charges.
Cotton works much better be-
fore COMPRISING. and saving will
come in this way.
After tabulating prices that Ia
boring people, their wives and
children can earn in this mill en-
terprise, thus showing its great
advantage to laboring people, MIR.
Blake continues: 81 found the
cotton manufacturing industry in
the highest degree of prosperity,
every mill / visited running to
their fullest capacity and all be-
hind with their orders. 1 found
our Southern mills making goods
for Liverpool, Africa, China, Mex
leo, Australia and many Islands.
This fact broadened our enter
prise out on a grand scale, as
gives us the whole world, as
were, as a market for our prodg
and the possibilities Of our
become wonderful. Just to
that Dallas alone could empld
least 100000 people in the D
feature Of cotton goods and fii
ready market for all they q
make.
As an investment, 1 found tn(
stock of cotton mills in every city
visited to be the most desirable
and most sought after. Only two
mills in my trip were below par;
The balance were worth from TO-
to 500 per each dollar. 1 do not
have the least doubt that our mill
will pay well, and that it will pay
good cash dividends from the first
year onward, and will be considered
among the very best investments
TO be found in Dallas, and I rec
ommend my friends and the peo-
pie of Texas to take stock in oul
mill while they can, as we shal
build and run it upon cash basis
and business principles.
